Abstract

The present invention concerns a method for producing prints, on which a specific image is printed based on a specific information set when a captured image is printed as a visible image on the print, based on image data of the captured image. The method includes the steps of: reading a plurality of specific information sets and a plurality of associate information sets, both of which are stored in a server, installed on a network, in such a manner that each of the specific information sets relates to each of the associate information sets in regard to a date and time and/or each of the associate information sets for identifying or classifying the specific information sets; selecting a part of specific information sets out of a plurality of the specific information sets read from the server, based on the associate information sets; and printing the specific image, based on the specific information set, on the print on which the captured image is also printed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A method for producing a print on which both a visible image of image data based on an image captured by a customer and specific information are printed, comprising the steps of:

 printing the specific information onto a part of the print based on the extracted specific information; and  
 printing the visible image onto the print,  
 wherein a plurality of the specific information are stored in the memory section in such a manner that a predetermined degree of priority is determined in advance, and the extracted specific information is extracted according to the degree of priority.  
 
   
   
     2. The method for producing a print as defined by  claim 1 , further comprising the step of providing the memory section in a server installed on a network. 
   
   
     3. The method for producing a print as defined by  claim 1 , wherein the specific information is printed as a visible image onto the print. 
   
   
     4. The method for producing a print as defined by  claim 1 , wherein the degree of priority corresponds to the customer's information which is accumulated in advance.
